In the wild world of social media, where heart emojis reign supreme and declarations of love are the currency of the realm, Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery continue to be the reigning monarchs of cute coupledom. Their latest exchange on Instagram is a testament to their ever-growing, emoji-laden romance.
A few months ago, the dynamic duo marked their one-year anniversary on Instagram, with Clark gushing about their future adventures and sealing it with a classic “I love you.” Ah, young love in the age of digital PDA.
While Clark has been dazzling fans in the WNBA, McCaffery has been busy playing the role of supportive boyfriend from the sidelines, juggling his duties with the Indiana Pacers Summer League team. After wrapping up the competition in Las Vegas, McCaffery dropped a succinct and triumphant IG post:
“Year 1 in the books.”
Not one to be left out, Clark quickly chimed in with her own heartfelt, yet minimalist reply:
“Proud of u [black heart emoji]”
Now that’s efficiency in expressing love.
